I have a set in the bag new. There the ones the installed on the rear hatch, they hold 2 pair. I'm wondering what there worth since I don't ski. I will do a pic later.

I just saw a set on eBay last night, find them and watch the auction to see what they sell for. That should give you some kind of idea.

If you have the installation instructions - can you scan them for me please?

thanks,

I have a set as well but I have no interest in them. The Z will never see snow or rain if I can help it. That's what the 4runner is 4.

Here's a pic, the chome is about 90% perfect. I have the instruction sheet too. They might have been used once.

Man those thing are cherry. They look brand new.

Boy, do those bring back some memories. I had a set of those on my first Z and went skiing almost every weekend. I also found out that a Z car is not what you might call a winter car. Slick roads were always an adventure. I'm with =Enigma=...sunny days for my current Z and for that matter...me.

I just can't see the Z doing very well in the snow. And God forbid a snow storm comes through while up in the mountains. Seems to happen to me every time I go. With all the work I am putting into this car it would be a shame if I slid off the road into a snowbank or ditch, and even worse if some snow driving noob slammed into me because he doesn't understand Newton's first law of motion. :mad:

Not to hi-jack the thread, but in order to use my old car in the winter I had put radial snow tires on all four corners...it helped, but it was sure exciting at times...maybe a limited-slip diff. would have helped...it did on my 68 2000. That did have a lsd and went pretty good for a sports car...also exciting at times.

My understanding is that lockers, and maybe limited slips are actually detrimental in the snow, due to the fact that they tend to force the vehicle to move in a straight line more so than an open diff would.

I think someone should show their car at a car show all decked out in snow tires and skis on the rack. Period correct skis - of course.

The racks fit 79-80's. since I have a 240 I can't use them. Anyone local (So Cal) want these things ? I'll pass em on so long as I know your going to use em for your 280 and your not going to put them up on E-bay.
